Family Day Monday

I think out of all the days I get off in a year this is the ONE I Love the most! My daughter is home, my work isn't running, and nothing is open. It is often warm enough to enjoy outside, but cold enough outside that you can come in and have hot coca without feeling too bad about it.

So we did a lot of work today. My daughter (remember she is only 8 please) work up and CLEANED! No we are not talking just picking up her toys and putting them in her toy box, no we are talking she picked up her toys, put away her clothes, picked up the things in the living room, and kitchen, and then the bathroom. She worked her butt off and before I got out of bed she did sweep. I am not allowed to sweep due to my asthma (I have to wear a special mask, I know so many asthamatics often do these cleanings, but I can't) so it was amazing that she did all that.

INCLUDING the stairs to my office. I WAS SO HAPPY! we then cleaned more, washed dishes, did laundry, and mopped floors.

From there we went shopping and bought the items to make brownies. By time we got home did dinner and cleaned from that it was too late to make brownies. OH WELL! But that is Wednesday I don't have work so we are making slow cooker foods and brownies.

It was so cool. And tomorrow is TUSAL! YAY! okay back to cross stitching and watching tv.

And just so you all have a picture.... hn.... what to show you?

The most awesome laptop mat ever. This is actually the mat I use to use when I played Magic The Gathering all the time. And now it is under my laptop and my mouse. Instant mouse pad. I do need a new one though. This one has a bit of a tear on the bottom edge.

Also anyone know who painted this? *waits to hear*

TODD LOCKWOOD! I was so impressed to see LICENSED TODD LOCKWOOD CCG Mat! OMG OMG OMG! I am still in a little artist geekgasum lol

Lazy slow Saturday

So I spent the day trying to figure out what I was going to post here on my blog about my arts and crafts that I do. One would think I didn't do anything today with my comment like this but I have I have gone lots today.

I spent the morning sewing patches on my daughters bowling shirt with all her accomplishments that she has gotten through bowling. I know we are missing one on her shirt but I can't find it to save my life so she has some of them on her shirt. Tomorrow she is at a tournament and from what I understand because of how well she has been bowling these past few days she actually has a chance to win this time around. SO that is cool I am proud of her.

After she ran off to her grandmothers, I finished cleaning the floor of my office. I can't find my desks but I found the floor. I am just doing the final sort of things and then I can take people on a mini tour of the office. I am so happy with that idea of showing you all my office. I love looking at others crafting area's so I can't wait to show you mine. It is just a mix match of things that it is so much fun.

The Desk as it stands right now, it is so full of clutter you can't see anything. My doll and a friends doll are just hanging out waiting for me to be done with organizing so I can make Lao some clothes.

My sewing desk is my favorite thing in this room it is where I spend a lot of time and often am found trying to de clutter it so I can work on it. I love sewing it is so fun and just a great way to get away from the world. My sewing machine is newer, it was bought for me when my great grandmothers singer died on me. I cried that day it would sew through anything with no fuss. But the belt on it broke and I am still waiting for the singer place to find a replacement. Though I think I will just sell it to them. I love this new one, it also matches my serger.

And in this corner is my doll shelf, this is where all my dolls normally sit for display. I own quite a few. They are a great joy of mine. I love working with my dolls and love playing with them. I sew clothes for them, and paint tattoos for them. So much of my craft revolves around dolls, not just mine but my friends as well.

I also started in on the Alliance cross stitch and realized that I was already through the first two pages of it before the end of this morning. So I am already really far in on that. I am so amazed on how well it went for me. And how quickly it is for me to work on a cross stitch like that.

Also I finished FOR THE HORDE! YAY! now to wash and block it out.... but first the alliance side of it.
